PR Log (Press Release) – Jul 28, 2009 – It seems never-ending.  The dialog between traditional film-based photographers and those who have embraced the digital revolution often becomes heated as each group seeks to defend its turf.  But there is so much common ground between traditional and digital photography that the question must be asked,  "Is the 'purity' of photography as an art form really being compromised with the advent of new technologies -- or, instead, enhanced?"

The Editor of the Portland Metro Photographic News (http:www.pmpnonline.com) looks at these digital achievements from the viewpoint of the traditional film-based photographic workflow, artistic considerations and technical needs of the photographer.  Is photography threatened any more today by the digital revolution than it was nearly a century ago with the introduction of film?
